Definitions

  • the invention relates to impact resisting posts and crash barriers constructed using such posts.
  • Bollards and barriers are often used to provide protection to buildings and other structures likely to be hit by slowly moving vehicles.
  • barriers are often placed around lamp posts that are situated in car parks so as to prevent them being damaged by parking vehicles.
  • these barriers and bollards are rigid and can be deformed or damaged relatively easily by an impact, especially by impacts from heavier vehicles such as HGVs and forklift trucks.
  • Such bollards and barriers must be replaced after every significant impact. This canbe a substantial expense especially if the bollards or barriers are situated in positions where collisions are fairly regular occurrences, such as lorry loading bays. Additionally the rigidity of the barriers and bollards tends to produce significant damage to the vehicle causing the impact.
  • barriers which have supports made of spring steel.
  • Current spring steel barriers are designed to absorb low speed impacts and so lessen damage to the vehicle and barrier. They differ from conventional barriers in that the barrier supports are made of rectangular cross section spring steel formed so as that it is able to flex in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the barrier length. Specifically the barriers are supported by generally vertical lengths of rectangular cross section spring steel that extends downwards to a securing point. This design means that upon impact the barrier is pushed backwards and rotates towards the floor as the steel flexes at one or more points below the barrier at which the stress is concentrated.
  • barrier supports are made of thin sections of spring steel and this combined with their design means they will plastically deform at these stress concentration points under all but the lightest of impacts. After each collision in which the barrier support is plastically deformed it will need to be repaired or replaced and this may incur substantial cost or cause significant disruption, ftideed the supports will need to be replaced after a finite number of crashes in which they have been plastically deformed as their structural properties will have been diminished by each such impact.
  • barriers are not used for high speed impacts for two reasons; firstly the materials currently used are too weak to be able to withstand impact from a high speed vehicle but secondly and perhaps more importantly the method of deformation is unsuitable for such applications.
  • the fact the barrier will rotate backwards towards the ground about the securing point below the barrier can cause significant problems for an impacting vehicle.
  • the force caused by a vehicle colliding with the barrier at high speed may be enough to cause the barrier to rotate back until it forms a sloping surface relative to the ground. This will either act as a ramp encouraging the colliding vehicle to pass over the barrier or, if the front of the vehicle does not slip over the barrier,. may cause the rear end of the vehicle to rise off the ground which would cause the vehicle to either flip over or crash back down with significant force.
  • crash barriers Another major use of crash barriers is on road sidings, motorway central reservations and other positions where barriers are needed to prevent high speed vehicles from colliding with structures and other hazards or coming to rest in hazardous positions, such as on railway tracks.
  • a significant length of barrier either side of the bridge to prevent vehicles which leave the road crossing the railway tracks.
  • the prime requirements of safety barriers are to prevent vehicles from crossing from one carriageway to the other and to prevent errant vehicles (that is, vehicles leaving the carriageway) from impacting with or entering roadside hazards”.
  • all such barriers are subject to regulations laid down in the UK safety barrier standard; "Safety Fences and Barriers" TD 19/85. This standard is based upon existing barrier types which all operate according to the principles laid out in section 3.2 of the standard:
  • a safety fence is intended to absorb some of the energy impact caused by an errant vehicle striking it and to redirect the vehicle within a narrow angle to follow the line of the fence so that it does not gyrate or overturn.
  • a safety barrier is intended to provide containment without significant deflection or deformation under impact, and to redirect errant vehicles along the line of the barrier in the direction of the traffic movement.”
  • the first of these barriers consists of longitudinal tensioned steel beams supported by 'Z' section steel posts.
  • the tensioned steel beams are either corrugated beam (CB) or rectangular hollow section beam (RHS).
  • CB has a 'W shape when viewed in cross section and RHS is a simple hollow rectangular beam that is conventionally either 100mm x 100mm or 200mm x 100mm in cross section.
  • RHS is a simple hollow rectangular beam that is conventionally either 100mm x 100mm or 200mm x 100mm in cross section.
  • the plastic deformation of the barrier results in a slower deceleration of the impacting vehicle compared to collision with a rigid barrier and thus reduces the degree of damage to the impacting vehicle and the likelihood of injury to the vehicle's occupants.
  • the maintenance of the structural integrity of the tensioned beam causes the impacting vehicle to be redirected along the barriers length and prevents the vehicle from overturning or entering roadside hazards, as required by the standard.
  • BCB British Concrete Barrier
  • This is a solid concrete barrier that has a profile contoured to assist vehicle redirection.
  • the BCB is entirely made of concrete and as such provides very low energy absorption during any impact. Therefore any vehicle impacting with such a barrier at anything Other than a narrow angle or very low speed will not be redirected arid will instead experience significant damage with the possibility of serious injury to its occupants.
  • This means that the use of BCB barriers has been minimised and is limited to sites where only a short length of barrier (less than 45m) can be installed and it is not possible to provide a suitable spacing between anchorage points for a CB or RHS barrier.
  • tensioned wire barriers that are constructed in the same manner as tensioned beam barriers but have tensioned steel wires (TSW) in place of the tensioned steel beams. These operate in exactly the same manner as CB and RHS barriers.

  • the posts are designed to be placed in situations where it is desirable to prevent vehicles colliding with structures or other vehicles and are suitable for both preventing head_on low speed collisions, for example in front of HGV loading bays, and when used as part of crash barriers for deflecting high speed collisions, for example on motorway central reservations. It is also possible to build crash barriers using the posts in situations where low speed collisions are expected such as in car parks. In all these situations the posts are designed to be positioned such that collisions will compress the downward portion of the post towards the upright portion in the horizontal direction.
  • the posts are designed to elastically deform upon impact so that a colliding vehicle suffers a lower deceleration than that which would occur if the vehicle hit a rigid structure and thereby lessen the probability of injuries to the vehicle's occupants and lessen the damage caused to the vehicle itself.
  • the post Upon collision the post will elastically deform in a manner such that the upright portion bends backwards and the downward portion bends inwards.
  • the stress caused by an impact will be highest in the bent portion and at the intersection between the upright and anchorage portions.
  • the deformation will cause the point of impact to move elastically backwards, away from the point of collision, such that the vehicle is brought to a halt over a longer distance than in a collision with a rigid barrier.
  • the design of the post means that during a collision the impacting portion of the post will move approximately horizontally backwards and there will not be any problems caused by the post or barrier becoming slanted and acting as a ramp during a collision. After the vehicle has been halted the post will elastically rebound towards its initial position pushing the vehicle away from the post or barrier.
  • the grade and dimensions of the steel used will be such that the post will not suffer any plastic deformation in the collisions it is designed to withstand and it will therefore return to its initial position when the colliding vehicle is removed.
  • the posts may be secured in a variety of manners as long as both the upright and downward portions have enough space to flex away from an impact. For example they maybe secured by penetrating the post into the ground and setting the anchorage portion of the post in concrete or, if the post is formed such that the anchorage portion is horizontal, by bolting or otherwise fixing said anchorage portion to the ground.
  • the posts may be attached to such surfaces, for example loading bay walls.
  • barriers may easily be formed.
  • the posts may be formed so as to more easily support the barrier member.
  • a loop may be provided at the lower end of the post's downward portion such that a length of wire or a rigid bar may be passed through the loops of more than one suitably sited post to form a length of barrier.
  • the posts should be oriented such that the outward face of each downward portion is perpendicular to the barrier length at that point. This will produce a barrier in which each supporting post will react to a collision in much the same way as described above for an individual post.
  • the barrier members supported by the post are easily attached and removed from the posts so that after a collision if the barrier members experience significant plastic deformation and/or fail they may be easily replaced without the need to replace the posts, which are unlikely to fail and/or plastically deform.
  • These barriers may be used alongside lower speed roads for protecting against low speed impacts, for example in a car park.
  • the reinforcing posts will be spring steel posts that are designed to withstand impacts from HGVs weighing in excess of 30 tonnes.
  • impact resisting posts paired with each reinforcing post will be designed to withstand impacts from smaller vehicles such as cars, which may range in weight from 900 to 3,000 kg.
  • the reinforcing posts may be formed in the same manner as the impact resisting posts or may be simple substantially straight lengths of rectangular cross section spring steel. In use the reinforcing posts are placed directly behind, parallel to and slightly separated from each impact resisting post.
  • This combination of the posts can be used in such a manner that they directly replace the 'Z' section steel posts currently in use for tensioned steel barriers. This may done by fixing a number of the combination posts at regular intervals along the length intended to be protected by the barrier such that all the impact resisting posts are in the same orientation with the outer faces of the downward portions of the impact resisting posts perpendicular to the length of the intended barrier and facing the direction of potential impact, and then by fixing lengths of conventional crash barrier CB or RHS to the outer face of each of said posts such that they are vertical, at such a height and in such an orientation that their outer faces will be hit by the expected impact and so that a continuous barrier is formed in front of and between the posts by the lengths of CB or RHS. If needed the lengths of CB or RHS may be tensioned and anchored at each end of the barrier to provide greater longitudinal structural integrity.
  • Barriers formed in this way could also be used on road sidings near railways to prevent vehicle_train collisions. If a double sided barrier is necessary, such as in a motorway central reservation, this can be achieved by placing two single sided barriers back to back with a gap between them sufficient to allow the posts to flex backwards during a vehicle_barrier collision. This gap could be minimised by staggering the two barriers such that the posts of each barrier are not coincident. When a motorway crash barrier constructed using these posts experiences an impact the CB or RHS will maintain their structural integrity along the longitudinal length of the barrier and as a result the force experienced by each pair of posts will be approximately perpendicular to the length of the barrier.
  • each impact resisting post will act in the same manner as described above for a low speed collision. If the impacting vehicle collides with a force that the impact resisting post has been designed to withstand then it will act elastically in exactly the same manner as if the reinforcing post had not been present. However, if the impacting vehicle collides with more force than the impact resisting post has been designed to withstand, for example if the vehicle is an HGV or is a speeding car, the impact resisting post will elastically deform far enough so that the back face of its upright portion impacts upon the face of the reinforcing post.
  • each reinforcing post is substantially stiffer than its partner impact resisting post the reinforcing post will then prevent further significant deformation of the upright portion of the impact resisting post whilst, to a lesser degree, deforming away from the collision and absorbing the energy of the impact itself.
  • the only part of the either post that may plastically deform during such a collision will be the bent portion of the impact resisting post. In this manner the posts may protect against a wide range of impacts, from light cars to very heavy goods vehicles without significant plastic deformation or the possibility of failure.
  • the rebound strength of the barriers may be designed such that when a collision is caused by a car gently swerving into the barrier from the adjacent road lane, for example when a driver falls asleep at the wheel, it will rebound no further than said adjacent lane, thereby allowing following vehicles to pass the collision in any other available lanes.
